Charania The Lakers have made it clear that they want him back but the one thing I do know is that multiple contenders are already circling If LeBron is really going to hit the open market and decide and have a true free agency he's not going to have a shortage of teams

Rob Pelinka on LeBron We probably haven't seen a player that has honored the game to the extent that he's honored the game He's given so much to his teammates to this organization The thing we want to do more than anything else is to honor him back
